fun place to go with large group or just for a romantic dinner for two, as long as you have similar eating habits as those u go with. i've only ever had macaroni rosa, which is sooo good! it has macaroni noodles with broccoli, mushrooms, peas, and chicken and a tomato cream sauce. i also HIGHLY recommend their tomato/mozzarella salad.
Pros: lots to choose from, atmosphere
Cons: sharing dinner recommended (pro or con, depending)

We always order from the Worthington location and have never been disappointed. Wonderful pizza every time! Always fresh ingredients and always ready or delivered on time. One of the top two pizza joints in Columbus!

One of the only places I know that can appeal to all of my friends and their varying tastebuds. And three hours is not really what you will wait. Went in with 6 people last friday and it was under an hour. I guess they are now taking some large party reservartions but that they are limited so call way ahead. Although the menu is long the staff is really good about guiding you in the right direction. You always have leftovers for luch the next day and although they dont have a printed childrens menu they do have a lot to offer, just ask. Im a huge fan and dine there more then anywhere else in Columbus, and when I travel.
Pros: Huge Portions, Friendly staff, 40+ desserts, endless choices,
Cons: Tables are pretty close together in some areas, can get loud at times.

Fresh ingredients, great meats and a sweet crust/sauce(I don't know which it is that's sweet). Their pizza is the best in Downtown Columbus. If you're a buckeye fan, you have to go atleast once. You'll most likely go back too. I try to pick one up atleast once a month and it's a 20-30 min drive for me to get it. Well worth it though. The sweetness of the crust/sauce combined with the spiciness of their pepperoni and sausage is awesome. If you're looking for a place to get some pizza while you're down there for a game or event, make it a stop.
Pros: Unique and delicious
Cons: a bit pricy, but worth it in the end.

If you want good ethnic food, find out where they eat. Panda Inn is popular with local Chinese, and for good reason. The trick for Americans is to know what to order. First, ask for the Chinese menu - otherwise you will get the lame "americanized" standards (General Tso's, Sweet&Sour Pork, Orange Shrimp, etc.).
SOME THINGS NOT TO MISS:
Soup: Fujianese Dumpling Soup (a favorite in owner's hometown - you will never eat wonton again)
Appetizer: Chive Dumplings (split the top and drizzle with the vinegar juice that comes with it)
Vegetable: Order greens sauteed with garlic (ask the server what is fresh today - Chinese Water Cress, Tender Pea Vines, or Chinese Broccoli (very mild - and very different from American broccoli)
Fish: Flounder Paradise (flounder wrapped around scallions and crab meat)
...or for Spicy Fish: fried Szechuan fish
Something Different?: Tender Spicy Bamboo (sauteed with jalapenos)
Something Really Different: Three Cup Squid (we always order this with wary newbies who then proceed to devour it with delight - delicious)
Want something REALLY spicy? Order a bowl of fish served in Szechuan peppercorn broth. Eat the fish on rice. Don't mess with the peppercorns, though, unless you don't mind a numb tongue.
A couple of writers said they had "intestinal discomfort." My wife and I have been going twice a month for 6 years and have never had a bad experience.
Pros: Authentic Chinese food; all Chinese staff
Cons: Some servers don't speak great English so may seem taciturn - but they are just quiet

I love Chipotle Burritos more than any other food that can be served fast food style! If I were stranded on a dessert island this would be my one food item of choice. If you have not experience the mindblowing flavor explosion of delight from a 6 lbs. burrito full of cilantro and lime rice, guacamole and sour cream, fresh salsa, cheese, and marinated steak; my friend you have not lived. The food is worth the stress of learning how to order the perfect burrito, but do not be intimidated, assert yourself and prepare for splendor. There's no wrong way to eat a Chipotle burrito, but I have found slicing it all up into a mixed up mess on a huge dinner plate gets you a combination of all the flavors that cannot be experienced in the foil and plastic basket provided at the restaurant in the somewhat noisy ambience.

An excellent place for seafood in the short north district. Like other fine seafood restaurants, you can choose a fish and have it prepared any way you like. They have shifted to a more asian inspired theme for the menu but the food remains excellent. portion sizes are well sized to leave you full but not stuffed.
PROS: Great food
CONS: parking in the area is challenging. consider valet

My rating does not mean that I think this is the "best" steakhouse ever, just that for the price, it just might be. If your looking for a western type, animal heads on the wall dining experience with friendly but not perfectly professional service, this is the place to go. Its casual, and thats what I like when I go out. I had the absolute best steak of the year at Longhorn Steak House. I work in a steakhouse myself and most of Longhorns steaks are comparable to higher end steaks sold for much bigger bucks. The porterhouse I got would easily sell for double at my resturant, and maybe tripple at some the prime steakhouses. I got a great deal i thought and have been craving Longhorn now for months, I really need to go back soon! I have gone back once since then and got the T-bone but was slightly less impressed. Spend the extra dollar or two for the whole porterhouse I recommend! Bread and butter are just that, bread and butter!!! Humm!!! Serice is good, but not always consistend. Thats my take as well as others who have gone. All in all, i'll role the dice to get that porterhouse every time!
Kid friendly
Party friendly
Family friendly
Can't wait for my next visit! Remember to Tip 20% for good service, 15% minumum.
Pros: Taste, bread and butter, lots of options.
Cons: Noise, tables to close together. No server sphiel.
